We all know that the mainstream in the last few years have been dominated by manufactured boy bands, passing themselves off as more than mere pop bands by their ability to play instruments, and in some cases not even then. We all know who I’m talking about. They took pop-punk and soiled its good name, and warped it beyond recognition.

Probably not, but growing in the underground is a movement that is growing stronger and stronger by the day and is even starting to make its push for broader horizons.

Being just one of many up and coming pop-punk bands right now; This Time Next Year explode onto the scene with their sophomore album, ‘Drop Out Of Life’. The album is full of big, crunching riffs that will have you playing air guitar in no time at all. Huge choruses that will stick around in your head longer than the sight of your mum in her underwear. It’s a real throwback to the classic pop-punk sound of New Found Glory, which will have you rolling in the nostalgia.

Pop-punk outfit This Time Next Year will release their sophomore full-length album, ‘Drop Out Of Life’, on September 27th through Equal Vision Records. Produced by New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert, the album’s artwork and tracklist can be seen below:

Celebrating its 10th anniversary with a huge bang, Slam Dunk Festival hosted some big and legendary names in the pop-punk/ska punk scene to their roster: Reel Big Fish, Goldfinger and Less Than Jake. Along with several other established aswell as up-and-coming acts spread across several stages, Slam Dunk has always been, and still remains to be, the best pop-punk event the UK has to offer.
